Verdict

Last year's winner of this race Capture The Drama will possibly try and make all here with A Hardy Nailer, Fire In His Eyes and Swingbridge chasing behind. The finish could be a repeat of the Punchestown handicap hurdle last month won by the holding-on White Arm in a pulsating battle with FLYNSINI a head behind, who is taken to reverse the placings here.
  1. Flynsini
  2. White Arm
  3. A Hardy Nailer
